Make Believe Things

~

 

Shimmering stars o'er dusty blue moon

Fairies on feathers gliding on a breeze

Crickets are fiddling a jig and a tune

Creatures of the forest emerging from trees

 

Beneath the shady grey of a warty toad stool

Hides a family of frightened white mice

The tempered owl so wise but so cruel

Is out hunting for a meal that tastes nice

 

Dancing and twirling on a leafy tree branch

A miniature pink pony with tiny silver wings

Escaped from the make-believe pink pony ranch

Where you can find all sorts of make believe things

 

And I in my bedroom tucked safely in bed

While the forest comes to life just outside

"Goodnight my sweet child" my mama says

"Let your sweet dreams act as your guide"

Beautiful and hopeful poetry dear Ana.
"And I in my bedroom tucked safely in bed
While the forest comes to life just outside
"Goodnight my sweet child" my mama says
"Let your sweet dreams act as your guide"
I liked the description and the ending above. A gentle and beautiful story written.

Great poem, the reality is that there is a nocturnal life that exist around us. Man is also nocturnal and part of that forest.

Thank you Howard, yes I agree. Things come alive at night, even some people. :)

Awwww, this is just simply delicious Ana. Painting beautiful pictures with your words that are then turned into dreams by a child, eager to continue the story into their dreams. Beautiful.
